my most interesting birthday cake ever!!! hehehe. Hello Kitty end'd up look'n funny & i almost gave up on her. LOL! good thing i didn't cos she sure was delicious - 3 layers of Ghirardelli chocolate cake sandwich'd with chocolate swiss meringue buttercream, coat'd with made-by-me marshmallow fondant & decorated with CandyMelts. too bad i forgot to take a picture with her - we wore match'n dresses! :) and vanilla cupcakes with Hello Kitty rings
Japanese chicken katsu (fry'd cutlet) sandwiches with wasabi mayo & tonkatsu sauce (Japanese worchestershire sauce)
Rare Japanese matcha (powder'd green tea) yogurt cheesecake
Judy's mini apple pies - they have Hello Kitty imprint'd on them! :) and big BIG big naked sugar cookies, ran outta time to ice them & make them pretty :(
Phuong's uber-cute Hello Kitty macarons w/ raspberry jam
i gave Hello Kitty a bath! a Korean curry bath equip'd with potatoes & carrots cut-outs of herself.
the most amazing tiramisu i've ever made & ever eaten!!! i didn't use a recipe & pretty much wing'd it, but it's simple to make - egg yolks, mascarpone cheese, sugar, heavy cream, fresh-brew'd Starbucks espresso, fabulous melt-in-mouth French lady fingers from Trader Joe's & dust'd with Ghirardelli cocoa powder & powder'd sugar
everyone was full by the time i got around to cut'n the cake, so i end'd up taking 75% of the cake home - the head only. when i woke up the next morning, the day of my birthday, i lit a candle, made a wish & had yummy cake for breakfast. =D
alongside the cake, i had macarons too! lucky me!
breakfast for the birthday girl =D
after dessert, i had a Hello Kitty egg (& ketchup) sandwich
more pix to come!
and of course, more Hello Kitty parties!!! WOOT WOOT!!!
The whole table looks amazing! Wish I was there early to see it all :P Your desserts were delicious! :)
